Makes sense.
having stupidly gotten a film production degree i can tell you that part of why films are so bad now is because most people graduating from those programs do not watch movies that were made before 1995 or know how to read.

Cracker Barrel threw away their identity. Rather than modernize, they made themselves into the restaurant equivalent of Muzak.
Cracker Barrel's stock is down double digits over investors concerns that its new rebrand, including changing its logo and remodeling its dining rooms, will alienate loyal customers. This is just the latest example in a long list of companies who don’t understand their core,

All my military friends, of whatever branch, know people like this.

Sometimes the American belief that we are the best in the world at business rings hollow.
Someone said this to me today. had to share: . "They offshored the team. Then paid McKinsey 7 figures to explain why morale is down.". Happy Wednesday. My Nvidia report is out tomorrow.

This is unnerving: are only 28 percent or so of young people conscientious? How long can a society survive with that trend?.
NEW: Is the internet changing our personalities for the worse?. Conscientiousness and extroversion are down, neuroticism up, with young adults leading the charge. This is a really consequential shift, and there’s a lot going on here, so let’s get into the weeds 🧵

"Dishonor on you, dishonor on your bear, dishonor on your whole family!" Seriously, we need the next Congress to force a revision.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to cancel nearly half a billion dollars in federal funding for mRNA vaccine development is the "most dangerous public health decision" ever, epidemiologist Michael Osterholm said. "Mr. Kennedy continues to use words that make it

I can picture this.
When I was in the process of joining the Army, I spent a lot of time at the recruiting station. One day, when I was preparing to go to MEPs, one of the Recruiters was fuming at his computer. He yanked it out of the wall, walked out to the parking lot, put the laptop behind the.
